If I send email to 4 addresses or less, it goes. 5 or more, the email goes
into the SENT file, but is not rec'd by any of the addressees. HELP!!! If I
try to use Eudora, or any other email client, same problem.

Call your ISP and find out what their limits are for the number of addresses
allowed for one mass mailing. % seems low, but it is determined by your
server and not OE.

I OE on 3 other laptops and a desktop and do not have this issue, same ISP.
It's a mystery to me....only on this laptop.

You may have a damaged identity. In the Address Book move your contacts to
the Shared Contacts folder. Then in OE go to File | Identities | Manage
Identities and create a new identity. If things work, you can import your
old messages. You can use Tools | Accounts to export your accounts to IAF
files and then import them into the new identity.

If it's only one PC but all mail clients, that suggests some other
software might be interfering, such as an anti-virus program scanning
outgoing e-mail or perhaps some Internet Security software.

That the message ends up in the Sent Items folder says that OE got
confirmation from the SMTP mail server that the message was accepted.
In the case of Norton Anti-virus, when it scans outgoing mail it
pretends to be the SMTP mail server to OE and tells OE that the message
has been accepted before Norton even checks to see if it can talk to the
real SMTP mail server.

I didn't know that. That's terrible.

Hi - how did you do that? I'm having the same problem with anything over
three recipients, and I use AOL as my ISP.
